FAQs
Some signs that your crawl space may require repair include sagging floors, musty odors, standing water, mold or mildew growth, insect infestations, and cracks in the foundation walls.
Foundation issues can manifest in various ways. Look out for signs such as cracks in the foundation walls, uneven or sloping floors, sticking doors or windows, gaps around window frames, and visible gaps between the walls and ceiling.
Foundation problems can result from various factors, including soil settlement, poor drainage, expansive clay soils, improper construction techniques, water leaks, tree roots, and seismic activity.
It depends on the extent and nature of the foundation issue. Some minor problems can be resolved with less invasive methods like crack sealing, epoxy injections, or installing additional supports. However, more severe issues may require significant repairs, such as underpinning or foundation replacement.
